What Are Non-Immigrant Sponsored Visas?

Non-Immigrant sponsored visas are for foreign nationals wishing to enter the United States on a temporary basis – for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, study, or other similar reasons. The problem with these sponsored visas are that they are temporary as previously mentioned, and applicants will have to adjust their status to achieve US Permanent Residency.

H-1C. Registered nurses who will work in areas where health professionals are in short supply.

H-2A. Temporary agricultural workers who will fill positions that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has recognized as facing a labor supply shortage.

H-2B. Workers of various kinds who will perform temporary jobs for which there is a shortage of available, qualified U.S. workers.

O-2. Essential support staff of people with O-1 visas.

P-1. Internationally recognized athletes and entertainers and their essential support staff.
